Comment 10 for bug 48682

Sorry, I forgot to say that everything works with update-manager when I have Synaptic proxy config settings.
The only thing that does not work is the "dist-upgrade" like situation. I mean, I have all my packages uptaded using update-manager but no dist-upgrade (ever).
In order to accomplish dist-upgrade I have to manually set the http_proxy and call sudo update-manager. That is why I suggested a wrapper shell over the update-manager (and adept-manager).
Best regards.
